A part of our study examines the point of view of film journalism in Czechoslovak periodical press, in the sense of a historical document about period thinking on popular genres of Italian cinema, it will also take into account the enthusiastic and nostalgic approach taken by some of the authors that became a parallel line to the aesthetic interpretation of the films. The study will also touch on social, cultural and medial transformations after the year 1989 which led in Czechoslovak film journalism to a greater critical interest in Italian popular genres. The text will be divided into two parts. The first part will deal only with the Italian western that belonged to the most often reflected and analysed categories of spectacular spectacle.

The authoress analyses two Italian costume dramas produced in the 1930s, in the context of Mussolini's regime. Both the '1860' (Alessandro Blasetti, 1933), and the 'Scipione l'Africano' (Carmine Gallone, 1937) using historical costume, promoted more or less openly the main arguments of the official propaganda. The ideological basis of the storyline of the '1860' is based on work by Giovanni Gentile, a leading theoretician of fascism of the time, according to whom Mussolini's rule were the final element of the period of Risorgimento. Whereas 'Scipione l'Africano' relies on the ancient Roman myth in order to promote the cult of the leader (ducismo). Both films are examples of how national identity was shaped in the country, which at the time was only seventy years old.
